My Latest Pull List – August 22nd, 2012

Posted by ptb under *like, Comics |

Weekly comic books are a big part of my life and below is a list of what I’ll be picking up this Wednesday along with cover artwork and previews courtesy of Comixology’s Pull List app.

Down to just five new books this time after a string of big weeks.

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #692 – This is the official over-sized 50th anniversary issue with an over-sized price tag of $5.99. There are also a great set of variant covers for this issue by Marcos Martin following Spidey through his five decades of publishing.
ASTONISHING X-MEN #53 – I’m way behind on this series which is fitting for a title with a history of being way behind schedule (though in all fairness the current creative team has been right on time and I just can’t keep up).
SECRET AVENGERS #30 – I’m really glad to see this series get back to the story Rick Remender started with before things got derailed for AvX. I liked the tie-ins but this story is so much better.
UNCANNY X-MEN #17 – Sinister has been the focus of this series since the relaunch and this issue promises a resolution.
X-MEN: LEGACY #272 – This book quickly transitioned out of AvX into something completely different and unexpected. Still starring Rogue.
